“Whether you’re sitting down at a restaurant, picking up a quick bite to eat or in the kitchen preparing a meal yourself, the ingredients that make up the dish may well have come a long distance to end up on the plate in front of you!
Food may be flown in to a country to a variety of reasons, whether it being to supply specific products that aren’t available naturally in a country, requiring fruit and vegetables that are out of season or just to offer certain foods due to particular demands.
